A bamboo plant is plant that stays green year round. It is the fastest growing plant in the world and is regarded as a symbol of longevity because of its long life. Follow this step by step tutorial to learn how to draw a bamboo plant!

Steps

1

Draw four long cylinders for the bamboo poles. Draw them straight or bent; it's up to you.

2

Add four long bamboo poles. These should be skinnier than your first drawn cylinders.

3

Draw the bamboo culms (or stems). To do so, draw four small cylindrical shapes and place them measurably apart, dividing the bamboo pole into five equal parts.

4

Repeat the previous step. This time, draw smaller cylindrical shapes on the skinnier bamboo poles.

5

Draw the leaves. Draw the leaves of the bamboo by drawing leaves into the shape of a fan. Then draw the leaves by spreading them on the bamboo poles. Make sure that the leaves appear to be behind the poles.
